He wrote music reviews for various specialised journals, and a number of books on Mozart, Liszt, Bartók and other Freemason musicians.

[5][6] During more than 20 years, he worked on the subject of “Colonne d’Harmonie” (Column of Harmony)—a research on the history of Masonic music—which led him to study all the collections of Masonic archives in Europe (Paris, Strasbourg, Zürich, Vienna, Bayreuth, Berlin, Poznań, The Hague, et cetera).

The research results were published in his book La Colonne d’Harmonie : Histoire, Théorie, Pratique.

[7] Among Autexier's publications, the only work written for the general public is Beethoven: La force de l’absolu, a richly illustrated pocket book belonging to the “Découvertes Gallimard” collection, which has been translated into seven languages, including English.

It is simple, concise and accessible to all, unlike the rest of his books which are specialist works.
